Dear Member 😍

I’ve been thinking about ways to make your membership feel like a value. I’m not sure what that mechanism might be, but I have some ideas. A personal shout-out? Write a piece on the subject of your choice, or maybe I write a caption for a cartoon you like?

Your support goes towards the time it takes produce the work each week. I’m not sure why I thought I merited compensation. Then again, why not? People spend money on all sorts of things.

The thing I’d like you most to know is that I appreciate it. The world is mostly indifferent to our efforts, but not you. Your membership gives me the confidence to keep writing. Thank you.

Feel free to reply to this email and share your thoughts with me. What would you like to see?
